Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to evaluate levels of millet hybrid ADR 8010[R] in the diets of pigs in growing and finishing on performance and carcass quantitative characteristics. It was used 48 barrows, genetically similar c, with initial weight around 30.0[+ or -]2.9kg. The animals were distributed in a randomized block design, with four levels of inclusion of millet in the diet (0; 25; 50 and 75%), six replicate of two animals each. It was analyzed the parameters of performance (feed intake, weight gain and feed conversion) and carcass traits (weight and height of carcass, back fat thickness, depth of muscle, percentage and amount of lean meat). The level of inclusion of millet do not influence (P>0.05) the parameters of performance and characteristics of carcass of pigs. The millet ADRR 8010[R] can replace the corn up to 75% on diets of pigs in growth and finishing without impacting performance and carcass characteristics of animals. Key words: carcass, energetic food, hybrid ADR 8010[R], performance. Realizou-se este estudo com o objetivo de avaliar niveis de milheto hibrido ADR 8010[R] nas dietas de suinos em crescimento e terminacao sobre o desempenho e caracteristicas quantitativas de carcaca. Foram utilizados 48 animais, machos castrados, geneticamente similares, com peso inicial de 30,0[+ or -]2,9kg. Os animais foram distribuidos em delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, com quatro niveis de inclusao de milheto na dieta (0; 25; 50; e 75%), seis repeticoes, sendo cada unidade experimental constituida por dois animais. Foram analisados os parametros de desempenho (consumo de racao, ganho de peso e conversao alimentar) e as caracteristicas de carcaca (peso e comprimento de carcaca, espessura de toucinho, profundidade de musculo, percentual e quantidade de carne magra). Os niveis de milheto nao influenciaram (P>0,05) nos parametros de desempenho e caracteristicas de carcaca dos suinos. O milheto ADR 8010[R] pode substituir o milho em ate 75% nas dietas de suinos em crescimento e terminacao, sem prejudicar o desempenho e caracteristicas de carcaca dos animais. Palavras-chave: alimento energetico, carcaca, desempenho, hibrido ADR 8010[R].
